Telling People About New/Improved Features

This is a good example of how to tell people about new or improved features. Yes, it’s a bit intrusive, but it’s easy to dismiss if you don’t want to look at it.

The dialog is clearly designed to entice me to investigate LinkedIn’s improvements. This is a good, if not-so-subtle pattern for notifying users about changes to your website.

I wonder if dialog boxes such as this would get different click-through rates if they didn’t apepar when the user first arrives—since they’re interrupting the user’s intended task with an aside.
